3. 'Untitled', Linder, 1976
This is one of a group of Untitled photomontages Linder created in 1976-8 from women’s fashion magazines. It shows a sepia-toned couple locked in a romantic embrace. The man’s arms are round the woman’s waist and his forehead pressed to hers.
4. Untitled (You are a very special person) - Barbara Kruger
Another central theme to her works is the question of power and the identity of those who dictate justice. As seen in “Untitled (You Are a Very Special Person)” the bejeweled crown symbolizes authority while the words speak of subordinate mockery.

'Amanda in The Mirror' was created by Nan Goldin in a Contemporary style. She often captures the mood of people.
